Centre of You

A full-day workshop honoring perimenopause as a sacred rite of passage. Gain clarity, compassion, and wisdom for this powerful transition.

What if perimenopause isn’t the beginning of the end...but the beginning of who you’re becoming?

You are not broken 🖤You are unbecoming everything you no longer need to be.

A few notes directly from Cara:Morning and afternoon tea will be provided (gluten free, dairy free, nut free).Please bring your own lunch - there will be a 1-hour break to eat, rest, and reflect.For more sacred cyclical wisdom visit www.ohanala.org/Things to note:Centre of You has plenty of bolsters, blankets, and cushions for you to get cosy with. We recommend wearing comfortable, loose clothes to enable deep breathing and sitting/laying upon the floor with ease. Something to cover your eyes, if you wish to do so (eg. eye mask, scarf). A journal is recommended as are any familiar personal items that will aid you in feeling grounded (crystal, teddy, scarf, etc).Personal responsibility: Please make an assessment on whether you are feeling stable and resourced enough to explore the practices on offer in this event. Whilst this event is held within a safe, sacred container, participants are encouraged to assess whether they feel emotionally ready to explore practices that may bring up strong or tender feelings. While grounding tools and emotional safety will be supported throughout, this is not a therapeutic processing space, and each person is responsible for their own wellbeing and support needs.No Photo/Video Content Will Be Captured: We recognise that being at an event where content is being captured can impact the personal comfort and nervous system regulation of our community. As such, it should be known upfront that this event is a photo and video free space. No content will be captured. We ask all participants to honor this agreement in respect of the shared experience by placing any recording devices away on arrival.Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 9:15am - 9:30am. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 9:45pm. Truly, it breaks our heart to have to turn latecomers away yet the disruption to the whole group experience by virtue of lateness does require management. We ask that you find understanding and consideration for the timebound nature of the container and make every effort to arrive on time.Driving: Centre of You is located upon Chapel Street and while you may get lucky with an untimed spot, (try High Street) predominantly 1 and 2 hour parking is available (unmetered from 5pm).
